Personalized Wedding Party T-Shirts

Another classic yet supremely casual bridal party gift takes the form of novelty t-shirts. Featuring shamelessly cool and fun designs, these shirts broadcast the name and marital status of each member of the wedding party and are a great way for the bride and her attendants to show their partying solidarity at pre-wedding events like bridal showers and bachelorette parties. These excellent-quality tops are well made and make awesome mementos of your happy day and all the parties that came with it for years to come.
Personalized 8 ounce Leather Flask

For the members of your wedding party who prefer a stronger drink than beer and may be susceptible to spur of the moment parties, this classic 8 ounce leather flask may be just the ticket. The true gentleman's, not to mention hard laced private eye's, choice for discreetly towing along his favorite liquor, hip flasks make a classy gift for nearly any member of your bridal party. This handsome vessel features a black leather finish, holds 8 ounces and has a metal faceplate, ready for custom engraving.
Gunmetal Tankard

Sculpted from heavy glass and featuring a sleek metallic finish, this customizable mug is the perfect way to say thanks to members of your wedding party who appreciate a cold beer every now and then. This modern looking mug holds 16 ounces of the recipient's favorite libation and is adorned with a classy pewter face plate, ready for engraving.
Section Wine Carry Bag

A fantastic gift for the wine lovers in your wedding party, this double-bottle wine carry bag will get your attendants to the dinner party well prepared and in style. Crafted of faux leather with a flock lined interior, this attractive bag comes in black or fuchsia, features a charming silver belt-buckle style handle and a luggage tag-like thank you card. For those extra deserving recipients, slip in a couple of bottles of their favorite wine to top it off.
Sterling Silver Freshwater Pearl Set

One way to keep your bridesmaids looking consistently beautiful and coordinated is by offering this charming necklace of sterling silver freshwater pearls plus matching bracelet and earrings to wear during the ceremony and beyond. Crafted of 5.5mm freshwater pearls, this set includes an 18 inch necklace, 7.5 inch bracelet and pearl stud earrings and is available in white or peacock. Let the members of your wedding party know how much their support and friendship means to you with this lovely memento.

Tokens of your sincerest gratitude, bridal party gifts can be practical, thoughtful and within your budget all at once. However, rather than seeing them as formal offerings, infuse your gifts with your own style and personality to leave your best friends and family with useful items that will remind them of you. Make your wedding just a little bit more special and memorable with some of these fantastic bridal party gift ideas.
